Terms & Conditions

1. Acceptance

By creating an account or using PlateDate, you agree to these Terms & Conditions and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the app. You must be at least 16 years old to use PlateDate.

2. The service

PlateDate is a meal‑planning app. It lets you discover and swipe on recipes, save them, build weekly meal plans, generate shopping lists, submit your own recipes, and — with Partner Mode — plan meals together with another user. Features may change, improve or be removed over time.

3. Your account

Sign‑in is passwordless: we email you a one‑time code or link. You're responsible for keeping access to your email account secure and for activity that happens under your account. Let us know promptly if you think your account has been accessed without your permission.

4. PlateDate Plus subscription

PlateDate Plus is an optional paid plan that unlocks extra features. It's a rolling subscription — you pay in advance and can cancel any time, and your access continues until the end of the paid period. Payments are handled securely by Stripe, and you can manage or cancel your subscription through the Stripe customer portal linked in the app. Except where the law requires otherwise, payments for a period already started are non‑refundable.

5. Recipes you submit

When you submit a recipe or upload a recipe photo, you confirm you have the right to share it, and you grant us a licence to store, process and display it so we can provide the service. Submitted content may be processed automatically by AI (see the Privacy Policy) and, if you use Partner Mode, shared with your connected partner. Don't submit content that is unlawful, infringing, offensive or that you don't have permission to share.

6. Acceptable use

Please use PlateDate lawfully and reasonably. Don't attempt to break, overload, reverse‑engineer or gain unauthorised access to the app or other users' data, and don't use it to harass others or to upload harmful content. Our Acceptable Use & Community Guidelines set out the rules in full and form part of these Terms.

7. Food, allergen & nutrition disclaimer

Recipe, ingredient and allergen information in PlateDate is for general guidance only and may be incomplete or inaccurate — including content generated or processed automatically. Always check ingredients and packaging yourself, and take your own precautions for allergies, intolerances and dietary requirements. PlateDate does not provide medical, dietary or nutritional advice; consult a qualified professional where needed.

8. Intellectual property

PlateDate, its branding and the app itself are owned by us. These Terms don't transfer any of our intellectual property to you. You keep ownership of the recipes and content you submit, subject to the licence in section 5.

9. Third‑party services

PlateDate relies on third‑party providers (such as Supabase, Stripe, OpenAI, Postmark and Cloudflare). Your use of features that depend on them may also be subject to their terms, and we're not responsible for their services.

10. Availability & liability

We work to keep PlateDate available and reliable, but we provide it "as is" and can't guarantee it will be uninterrupted or error‑free. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we're not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss arising from your reliance on recipe or allergen information. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that can't be limited by law.

11. Termination

You can stop using PlateDate and delete your account at any time from within the app. We may suspend or end your access if you breach these Terms or misuse the service.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we'll change the "last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Continuing to use PlateDate after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and any disputes are subject to the courts of England and Wales.
